Age of Conan Final Impressions: Part 3

There were group quests and particularly hard regular quests that were just too difficult if you were solo or played with a small group. If you waited until you leveled up about five or ten levels though, you could do the quests. Well, Funcom decided that the best way to...

Age of Conan Final Impressions: Part 2

In the Part 1, we discussed the good of Age of Conan (AoC). It was a short article. This one will discuss some of the bad of AoC. This article will be much longer. I played this game on a PvE server. PvP on a RPG doesn’t appeal to...

Age of Conan Final Impressions: Part 1

Alone in the Dark was one of them but it was released recently to some poor reviews despite the unique gameplay aspects and item mechanics it uses. Another was delayed and is now not scheduled to...

First Impressions: Age of Conan

Boobies, lots of boobies. That’s what we bought Conan for, right? Well, sort of. The majority of its buyers claim to have purchased the product for a true “M for mature” rating, and not just for the bare skin and blood either. They wanted a game that would transport...
